What is ETSI?

STF: Specialist Task Force
An STF is a team of experts working together over a pre-
defined period to draft an ETSI standard or technical report,
under the guidance of an ETSI Technical Body and with the
support of the ETSI Secretariat. The task of the STF is to accelerate the standardisation
process in areas of strategic importance and in response to urgent market needs.
STF work is normally done by the experts in common sessions in the ETSI premises of Sophia Antipolis.
Experts for STFs can be proposed by ETSI Members or supported by ETSI Members.

ETSI focus on standards
Technical interoperability: Between systems (end-to-end interface, protocols) Between building blocks (system architecture) Between components (component design)
Reduce costs Component-based development Shorter development cycles Easy integration
Expand markets Enable competition Faster learning Create trust and confidence in products Testing:
Conformance tests Interoperability tests
Market validation Systems integration Project coordinator
2006-06-14 TTeC 2006 7
Open process
Open meetings: All stakeholders may participate in the standards development process
Consensus: All interests are discussed and agreement found
Due process: Balloting and appeal process may be used to find resolution
Open IPR: IPR holders must identify themselves during standards development process
Open access: Open access to all deliverables Open World: Same standard for the same function
world-wideOpen interfaces: Allow additional functions, public or
proprietary Open markets: Interoperability, users are not locked in
with one supplier or service provider

ETSI and e-health
The EU Commission has encouraged ETSI to continue its e-Health work and has already promised funding for 2007.
Creation of starter group to prepare a Technical Committee
Need for standardization: Basic level: by mid 2004, a European Health Identity
Card (EHIC) shall be introduced (already achieved). National level: by 2005, EU member states are required
to develop national and regional e Health strategies. Interoperability level: by 2006, national healthcare
networks should be well advanced in their efforts to exchange information, including client identifiers.
Networked level: by 2008, health information and services such as e-prescription, e-referral, telemonitoring and telecare, are to become commonplace, accessible over both fixed and mobile broadband networks.

Telecare is…
ICT-enabled delivery of health and social care services to individuals within the home or a wider area, involving clients, carers and coordination agents.
A Business-to-Consumer (B2C) service model, including: information and communication services; safety and security monitoring; personal monitoring; electronic assistive technologies.
NOT telemedicine, a service offered to and used by healthcare professionals! a Business- to-Business (B2B) service model

Evolution of Telecare Services
1st Generation Social alarms - dispersed panic alarm with pendant and
pull cords Addition of passive sensors for auto alerts An existing care intervention package
2nd Generation Telecare systems - adaptive, personalised but event
driven Exhibits aspects of reasoning An emerging care intervention package
3rd Generation Well-being analysis - pre-emptive, long term trend
analysis Migrates Telecare from a crisis safety net to an
assessment tool Will enable intervention outcome measures and
optimisation

Rationale for our work
Telecare must move from the research phase to the commercial phase / real world, considering:
Intuitive and simple user interfaces Reliability Security and privacy issues Interoperability Business models
A user centred approach is required!

Some telecare scenarios
Scenario 1: Local authorities using a commercial telecare offering based on community matrons
Scenario 2:Retired engineer with a chronic heart disease and a new smartphone
Scenario 3:Pregnant woman with mildly elevated blood pressure (pre-eclampsia), needing surveillance
Scenario 4:Old male living alone, profoundly deaf and suffering from kidney malfunction
